  1. Dunno if I’d like it, but it seems weird enough that if I saw it I’d buy it out of curiosity.

    I would. Ricotta is so veritile you can make it savory for pastas but also sweet , lemony etc for Ricotta pies n cookies. I’m sure this is probably very good.

    It sounds like a cannoli without the shell! Dessert cheeses always taste better than they seem like.

    There are a variety of great desserts that have ricotta in them. You should get out more OP

  5. Sounds like a ricotta cheese cake. I would try it with nilla wafers. Chocolate chip ricotta is what goes in cannoli, how is this so crazy in comparison?

    My grandma would make dough and put sweet ricotta with chocolate chips in it, then cut the dough into raviolis and fry them. She would coat them in cinnamon and sugar and dip them in melted chocolate

    Not too crazy. Cannolis are usually filled with a blend of ricotta, mascarpone, and chocolate chips.

    I recently went to an event that paired different wines, cheeses and chocolates together and it was out of this world good.

    Conceptually seems similar to the lemon baked ricotta I tried the other day. That one tasted like a nice, fluffy lemon cheesecake, I’d imagine this one would resemble a chocolate chip cheesecake or something along those lines. I’d definitely try it

    I love all my fellow Fromage Freaks. This is basically cannoli filling and now I need to have it.

  10. I bought the lemon one and thought it was good, wish it had a bit more lemon taste though

  11. This sounds great! Trader Joe’s has a lemon ricotta that tastes a lot like a crustless lemon cheesecake, this probably tastes like a chocolate chip cheesecake.

    Wow, I saw the pic first and assumed the post was going to be about how good it was or how stoked you are to try it or something.

    I’ve eaten and made a lot of Sweetened ricotta dips.

    You’re just put off by the packaging.

    If it was in a tub? Cute cookie logo? More plastic waste?

  14. Have you ever eaten ricotta? If you have then you would know it’s a great transporter of flavor! This would probably taste just like a chocolate chip cookie but with the smooth silky creaminess of ricotta. I’m down to try it for sure!

    Don’t knock until you try it. Ricotta is soooo good sweet OR savory. Cannolis are a gift from god

    Hell yes. I’ve had lemon baked ricotta and that was a real treat. Besides, ricotta turns up in lots of desserts! 

    I imagine this hits like a chocolate cheesecake. 

  17. Lots of young cheeses pair well with dark chocolate, but baked ricotta isn’t even cheese really, it is legitimately just cheesecake. It’s got eggs and sugar in it and everything.

  18. I literally just saw this at Aldi’s!!! We bough the baked lemon one and it was good.

  19. lol? Ricotta is frequently paired with sweet ingredients. Have you never had a cannoli..?

  20. Yeah, it looks like a dessert cheese ball to me. Gimme some graham crackers & I will take care it for you.
